In Mel Gibson's Case, the Pot Is Calling The Kettle Black
(Preview)

However, having gone through college during the dinosaur days of the 1970s, and hearing the drunken and drug-induced ravings of otherwise rational peop...

Islamic Militancy - Seed for the Next Dark Ages
(Preview)
 People who have their wits usually try to learn from their past mistakes. Whole nations work to avoid the pitfalls of yore. But will the entire globe learn from its past dark history. Sadly, it doesn't look that way.

Ehud Olmert Playing with German Fire
(Preview)
The Israeli newspaper HaAretz reports: Olmert: I hope Germany sends peacekeepers to South Lebanon. Can you believe it? Asking the fox to guard the chicken house! God must have struck Israel with madness to destroy them, as national repentance doesn't appear any more forthcoming among J...

Forget Politically Correct - Check out Politically Ignorant
(Preview)
How many Americans know what is really going on in the Middle East? Perhaps Americans are working and playing too hard to get the true picture. What is brewing there comes with no promise to remain over there. Global conflicts don't remain over there anymore in our shrinking world.

The Middle East as 'Tinderbox'
(Preview)
No doubt, the Middle East is surely a tinderbox. Jimmy Carter has called it such in a recent editorial, but I would have expected better from this world-weary and world-experienced man.

Internationally, hands are wrung (mostly) over Israel. One or two thin...
